the studio turned the project over to Ritchie and his producing partner Lionel Wigram.

Well ..I laughed at that last name,did you?(Apologies if any of you guys have that same last name)

Personally,i like Tom Cruise,and i like the Mission:Impossible films...but think this role should be given to someone else if i was to be honest,I can't see him playing it any different than he does with Ethan Hunt,right?..especially if that link is correct when they say M:I5 is also being developed

And I still want Sherlock Holmes 3 from Guy Ritchie....but i do want Guy Ritchie to start spreading his wings some more,so i guess this will do.

Never really got into The Man from U.N.C.L.E although it was a big hit here,i did love Get Smart

McCallum for me was always The Invisible Man which i had no idea only lasted 13 episodes..it feels like i spent most of my childhood watching that

I did a first search and it searched for all the letters in posts...so then i did a similar search but with the quotations(you taught me that!!),and it came up...i remembered the thread

PS-in the search i also initialled the word U.N.C.L.E. <<like so (EDIT:nevermind i have just seen your edit)

LOL on your PS

So which part will Tom Cruise play,i would of said David McCallum because he always came off much younger than Robert Vaugh(although,like i said i didn't really watch the show) ,but looking it up,i see Vaughn was barely in his 30's when U.N.C.L.E. started and McCallum a year younger

EXCLUSIVE: Tom Cruise has exited as the lead in The Man From U.N.C.L.E., the remake of the classic TV series that Guy Ritchie will direct for Warner Bros. Cruise was scheduled to star in the film with Armie Hammer, but he has stepped out of the picture to focus on producing and starring in Mission: Impossible 5. Paramount and Skydance are now planning to begin shooting the latest installment of that franchise before year’s end. Warner Bros has a script they like, and a top director who’s expecting to direct U.N.C.L.E. in the fall. The timing proved too difficult and so Cruise stepped out to focus on M:I5.

Warner Bros will now go hard looking for the lead of this movie, which is inspired by the original TV series ran from 1964-68, with Robert Vaughan and David McCallum playing Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin, two agents of the United Network Command for Law Enforcement. With gadgets and their wits and charm, they fought the evil forces of Thrush. Hammer, who’ll be seen shortly alongside Johnny Depp in the Gore Verbinski-directed The Lone Ranger, is still firmly in the film.

I've heard such great things about MAN OF STEEL that every potential studio franchise out there would love to lock Cavill up in a multi-picture deal. For now, at least, it looks like U.N.C.L.E. might be Cavill's next big budget franchise.
